This answer gets more awesome the more I think about it.

Initially, I was going to reply that it was crass. Then, I thought about it and grinned.

But I think that flakmonkey's point is that yes, if you're poor, you'll be stuck in traffic at least just as long. More likely though, you'll be stuck in traffic far more than currently, because people who can afford to pay for it will. Being that freeways use public funds, that probably shouldn't be the case.

No, it depends. The mass transit option might be e.g. 20% slower compared to the travel time the poor have now.
